Feeling unprepared for fatherhood, he made the decision to end his life..
In a heartfelt interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ayoola expressed regret for his actions upon seeing his son now.
He said, “The time the pregnancy for my son came, I wasn’t prepared to be a father. I got depressed and almost took my life. I deliberately miscalculated while crossing the road so that I would be hit and the car just brushed me.
“I look at my son now and I’m like, ‘This is what I was about to miss? This is whose live I was about to destroy?’ This little boy would have been fatherless.”
